I'm building a report which is about 50 pages when rendered. it is like a power point presentation. The only issue is I want to display page numbers from second page starting from '1'. When I use the global page number function in the footer it shows the page no. on the first page also. It'd be a great help if anybody can help me with work around..
You should place a textbox to write the page number only (label "Page:, for example, should be in a separate textbox) and use an expression, something like this:
=IIF(Globals!PageNumber = 1, "", cStr(Globals!PageNumber-1))

I need a solution that will do the following.
When a report is run, it follows up with a disclaimer page.
However, if the report data runs over two pages, I need the disclaimer after each page. So, if the report is one page, page 1 is the report data and page 2 is the disclaimer. If the report spans over two pages, page 1 is the first portion of the report, page 2 is disclaimer, page 3 is second portion of the report, page 4 is disclaimer.
I cant think of a general method in ssrs to achieve that,
(depending on the structure of your report, there might be some tricks for example with groupings by lines of text, and a footer of the size of a page, that repeats every group, but that is assuming a text line is also a row in your dataset, which in turn is assuming you can manipulate your dataset with stored procedure. tl;dr; it depends and gets complicated quickly)
however, assuming you use c# to render your reports, using pdfsharp you could
prepare the disclaimer as pdf and simply add it after everey page in "post processing"
(something like that)
var document PdfReader.Open(StreamForPDf, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import)
var disclaimer PdfReader.Open(pathorStream, PdfDocumentOpenMode.Import)
var result = new PdfDocument();
foreach (var page in document.pages)
{
result.add(page);
result.add(diclaimer.pages[0]);
}
result.save(streamorpath);
I have a SSRS (.rdl) report with a tablix whose details group is set to put a page break between group items, reset the page number and set the page name (as per http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2010/04/25/report-design-reset-page-number-on-group.aspx).
This works correctly when rendered to HTML or as a PDF.
When rendered to Word the page numbers do not reset and the page name never changes (the page name is always the value set on the first page). The page breaks work as expected.
I have read (at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283105.aspx#ReportHeadersFooters) that complex expressions must be converted into runs of simple expressions in order to display correctly when exporting to Word. I have done this but the problem persists.
Is there any way to make the tablix group reset page number and page name functionality work when exporting to Word?
If not is there a way of achieving the same effect when exporting a report to Word from SSRS?
This is an older question but recently ran into this issue myself so it might help someone else.
There are a lot of examples out there that use casting in the examples for the page number display (CStr or ToString()). Whenever I invoked those methods, the counts would be off when exporting to Word (either doc or docx).
The only way I could get it to work is with three separate text boxes in the footer with these expressions:
=Globals!PageNumber
"of"
=Globals!TotalPages
Avoid the use of those other approaches. Three separate text boxes was the only way I could get this to work.
I have a report is ssrs, it consist of a main report which has a header containing the page number and 2 sub reports (report page 1 and report page 2) within a tablix. Report page one comes first, then report page 2 displays on the next page after the end of report page 1. The subreports can be anywhere from 1-3 pages. The page numbering is reset between each set of report page 1 and 2 (so if page 1 is 3 pages and page 2 is 2 pages, it goes from page 1-5, then resets). These are called for each record (with grouping) from the main reports' query. The report is around 1000 pages total. It renders perfectly on screen, but when I try to export to PDF, it will sometimes (like 1 time in the 1000 pages) display part of report page 2 on a page (as expected, the page number matches with it), then it will start printing report page 1 of the next group on the same page.
Here is the layout of the main report:
Here is the document outline for better understanding:
And here is the page that is wrong...
This is what it should look like (the last page of sub-report page 2 even has just the total record like the broken one!
I have tried everything I can think of. I have tried (i think) every combination of page breaks on the rectangles and groups, I have tried making a tablix with 2 rows using the same group and again tried every combination of page breaks. I have tried changing the number of records on a page. I have tried changing the consume whitespace option on both sub and main reports. I have tried adding both calculated and random amounts of white space. I have recreated the report from scratch a couple times. I'm sure there's more, but it would be like going through a full feature list of SSRS... Basically, I tried everything I could think of, then everything suggested in the links on the first page of about 10 different google searches. I just have no idea what is going on with this, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if you need any more info, screenshots, or whatever and I will try to provide. It may be highly "redacted", but I will provide anything I can.
Thanks, Kevin
Try check the setting "Between each instance of a group" in group properties of tablix.
Try checking your XML for empty TablixRows (which will not show up in the Document Outline). I found with my report that empty tablix rows screw up page breaks in subsequent rows / sub reports when exported to PDF. Where possible hide the TablixRows or insert and empty text box.
This appears to be a bug with SSRS when editing the XML by hand. The Visual Studio GUI seems to not let you delete the last element in a row - perhaps this is a work around. An error or schema validation message would have been nice for us hand coders!
Hope this helps.
I have a report with 50 pages. I have one list control, and this list control contains a table control. I am using grouping in the list, with a page break at the end. I want each group on one page. For example, if the size of my data is bit more for some of the pages then it moves to the second page.
The problem is I am getting some of the pages with the same number where data for one group is more than one page. I am using this expression in the footer:
format(Globals!PageNumber & "of" & Globals!TotalPages)
When I have 50 pages then after exporting to Word I will get 45, becuase 5 or 6 pages will be repeated, giving "1 of 45" instead of "1 of 50".
Note that I am using SSRS 2005.

For a report in MS Access (2007) I need to put data of some columns on all odd pages and other columns on all even pages. It is for printing out double sided card files onto sheets of paper.
Does somebody have an idea how to do that?
Your question is too general. I would suggest you have all columns in all pages, and then add some code to the page header section (or even in the detail section) "On Format" to change the .Visible property of your Detail text boxes depending on the page number.
I think you'll need to have a Text Box in the page header or footer with "=[Page]" as source data in order to know the correct page number. My Access report knowledge might be severely outdated, though.
Well you can check whether "Page" is odd or even in an "On Format" event and maker columns visible or not visible depending on which page you are on. However, it would be far easier to:
Put in a couple of sections and put in a new page between them. Then it's just a matter of ensuring that you don't overflow the page with too many rows per card.
OR
Make the report wide enough that it forces a second page and then place those columns on a second page (i.e. the back of the first page). As I recall access's print order is left right top bottom, so pages set up like this:
A B
C D
would print like this:
A
B
C
D
In the case of having to display data from the same record on two consecutive pages, this is the option I would choose.
You could alternatively use a pair of queries, printing the first to side A, and the second to side B, perhaps?
